A little while ago I mentioned the Instructions of Fr Reginald Somerset Ward. In a little tract on 'Gratitude' he advises Christians should identify at the end of each day a specific list of mercies for which to thank God. Mine today will have to include the occasions when, on my newsletter delivery round, I almost fell off my bicycle - once on mud by the roadside, and once on a slippery drain cover. I'm not sure these will count as one item or two, though: I suppose it will depend how many more I can think of.
This isn't my current location, or even my current bicycle. On this long-ago occasion, the thing I was grateful for was that it didn't fall off the bridge.
